SIGNATURE EVENTS: Resident of the Month.
The resident council of Signature HealthCARE of Trimble County selected Mary Nell Peak as Resident of the Month for February. She was chosen because of her generous heart and her winning personality. Recently, Mary volunteered as a “smile ambassador” within our facility. Earlier this month, Mary dressed as a clown and visited fellow residents to make sure they had a smile on their faces. Thank you, Mary.

The Christian music group has been performing together since 1968, when they were students at Trimble County High School. From left are Paul Wright, Bedford, Ky., vocals/drums, Dave Taylor, Lexington, Ind., vocals/guitar; Steve Brown, Hanover, vocalist; Tony Gossom, Carrollton, vocals/guitar; and Rick Mahoney, Hanover, keyboards. Other members include Neal Wright, South Bend, Ind., keyboards/guitar/vocals; Ken Boyer, Bedford, sound engineer.

The group builds its sound around four-part, southern-gospel quartet harmonies, but selections often vary in genre from 1960s pop vocal, to bluegrass gospel, contemporary gospel and traditional sounds, and includes original material. The concert is free; an offering will be collected, half of which will benefit missions. Refreshments will be served in the church fellowship hall following the concert.
